🪧 Yes, the market is weird.
But here’s the thing: weird markets create opportunities for people who know how to navigate them (🙋🏼♀️ that’s me).
Right now in Coastal Orange County real estate, we’re seeing a rare mix: mortgage rates at their lowest since October 2024, inventory levels ticking up, and sellers who are more open to negotiating. If you’re looking at Costa Mesa homes for sale or considering a move into the Newport Beach luxury real estate market, this “moody” environment might actually be the best time to make your move.
The headlines are chaotic, but I stay steady. Okay, maybe a little weird too—but the kind of weird that closes deals in Orange County luxury real estate.
Here’s what’s really happening this week in the housing market:
-
✅ Inflation data came in right on target, keeping the door open for expected rate cuts after the September 17th Fed meeting.
-
✅ New home sales slipped slightly, but still managed to outperform forecasts—showing there’s real strength in demand.
-
✅ Sellers are negotiating. Slower price growth doesn’t equal falling values, but it does mean opportunity for well-prepared buyers.
What this means for you in Coastal Orange County:
If you’ve been dreaming about a Newport Beach coastal property with ocean views, or you’re drawn to the vibrant community and lifestyle of Costa Mesa real estate, this is a window worth exploring. Luxury buyers and sellers both benefit when the market feels uncertain—because that’s when smart moves can be made.
Bottom line:
There are deals out there, whether it’s a contemporary Costa Mesa luxury home, a waterfront property in Newport Beach, or an investment in the ever-desirable Coastal Orange County real estate market. My role? To find the opportunities, negotiate the terms, and help you secure the right property in this one-of-a-kind coastal market.
